Muting/Unmuting Audio on an Entire HAL System

From within Halogen, you can mute and unmute your entire HAL System with a single click.

note: By default, the system is muted when it powers up and also when a new configuration is loaded or applied. In most cases, you will likely unmute the system gradually—one output or zone at a time. If you want to unmute the entire system all at once, use the method described in this topic.

  1. Connect to HAL.
